Minty
There has not been very much to say about Toffee and Caramel over the past year. They have both grown into rather large happy boys, who like to do nothing! After we adopted a pair of older ratties from the RSPCA, Minty and Rummy, and Rummy sadly passed away, we decided that our two big cuddly old guys had room in their home and hearts for a very sweet and lonely guy called, Minty.
We were very lucky that Toffee and Caramel are both extremely soft and good natured boys. This meant that we didn’t have any of the fights that can sometimes happen when you try to introduce fully grown male rats to each other. In fact no real introductions were made we just put the guys on the floor together, then into a freshly cleaned out cage. With the exception of keeping a close eye on them for signs of stress or fighting, we left them to it. While this is definitely not recommended for all rats, we know Toffee and Caramel very well, and Minty was a obviously a very sweet boy. Even so we kept a very close eye on all the boys until we were sure they were going to be all right together.
